Well.
That's that.
We're done.
Finished.
Lexi had her last nurse Tuesday morning
at 8:00.
It followed her second-to-last nursing
which was Sunday night around 10.
She's still asking to nurse occasionally
but she doesn't treat me like a deaf imbecile anymore
when I gently tell her, "No, Momma doesn't have much milk left."
She just gets angry.
Angry
I can handle.
If she got sad
well
that would just undo me.
I thought I was fine with it.
After I realized I could actually drink one now,
I even bought a fancy Java beverage at Sonic this morning
where I took Ton' for a treat
after we dropped off his application package at UAFS
(before remembering
we are only supposed to be drinking H20 right now
we are only supposed to be drinking H20 right now
in order to raise money for a well.
Since we pretty much always only drink water
Since we pretty much always only drink water
it's a non-issue. Except this one time....sigh)
anyways.
I was fine with it
until I started writing this post.
And it hit me.
Tuesday
was the very last time
I'll have a last time
of nursing.
And it passed without fanfare.
Like so many 'growing up's do.
It's really stupid that I'm crying right now
'cause I don't even like nursing all that much.
But I do like loving my babies
and now
I have one less way to love her.
Lex' did so love to nurse!
Ahh... Dear, I fully understand!! Hugs!!!

ReplyDeleteI cried ( am teary) with you...my baby is 3 and it still hits me that that is that and it will never happen again....oh girl.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got your Fancy Java!!! (SUPER HUGE(((HUGS)))
This is so sweet! :) My Emaline had her last nurse on Aug. 24th, at 18 1/2 months old.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. I think it's fine to cry. I am curious to see whether my boys have had their last nurses...we haven't nursed since sometime in August. I don't even have a date. almost 4 years and 2 years and I don't even know when it stopped. Maybe they'll want to try again once or twice when my milk comes in, and then I can have a date.
